Its not 'TDS'. Its just plain old critical thinking skills.
Trump is taking serious political damage over this. His own party members are rebelling against Trump in the house, voting with democrats to release the Epstein list. Trump is angering his own base. Trump has had to change his story on this repeatedly, lying about the Epstein list. His base has noticed. Everyone has noticed.
Trump's approval rating has tanked, with the last 2 polls showing him 11 and 13 points underwater on favorability, the worst performance of any president in US polling history, save one: Donald Trump in his first term. Trump is sliding in his core demographic: MEN. Now 6 points underwater.
We've got reports from the Rupert Murdoch's Wall Street Journal that Trump's name did come up repeated in the Epstein files. So we have ample reason to believe that Trump is protecting himself by suppressing the Epstein list.
The logical conclusion, using our critical thinking skills, is that Trump will take MORE political damage from the release of the Epstein list than he has from suppressing it.
